This temple--style building has interesting décor. The living room is made up like a little shrine with painted screens. The bathroom has lovely painting on the walls, although there is no shutter on the windows, so it doesn't feel very private.
Instructions left in the apartment detailed how to use some of the amenities (although in broken English), but did not explain where to find the washing machine (it's outside - I found it as I was leaving) and I could not find the remote that controlled the shutters.
The room had futon-style beds, although I used two mattresses as the floor was quite hard in the living room. The tatami room had a strange smell in the kitchen area and a lot of light and noise came through the kitchen ventilation which stopped me sleeping.
The bath and shower were both very nice. The whirlpool tub was not quite clean, but after a quick rinse, was very comfortable with a number of settings for the jets and lights. The tap on the tub had an automatic shut-off (you set it to a quantity and it turns off when it has used that much water. However, the room did get quite damp with the window closed. I did not use the bathroom balcony. The toilet was separate from the bathroom and had a sink built into the cistern activated when you flush. As there was no sink in the other bathroom, I brushed my teeth in the kitchen. The bathrooms were also a little cold, but the heated toilet seat took the edge off.
Overall, it was a nice place to stay.
